Am Dm G C
you’ve been a juvenile , with a dolphin smile ,
Am Dm G C
with no elbow room , and your body in bloom ,
Am Dm G C
you’ve had your little backyard , protected by big walls ,
Am Dm G C
you didn’t dare look over , ’cause you’ve been too small ,

C
well , you’re finally sixteen , and you’re feeling old ,
C Dm C
but they won’t believe that you’ve , got a soul , whoa , whoa , no ,
C
cause you’re only sixteen , and you’re feeling real ,
C Dm C
but you can’t seem to , cop a feel , whoa , whoa , no ,

Am Dm G C
why do they have to force us , through this metamorphose?
Am Dm G C
little butterfly , no matter how you try ,
Am Dm G C
you’ll be segregated , you’re gonna be closed off ,
Am Dm G C
you’re callow and you’re green , cause you’re caught between

C
well , you’re only sixteen , try to , cross the line ,
C Dm C
but your little wings are , intertwined , whoa , whoa , no ,
C
you’re only sixteen and you’re such a tease ,
C Dm C
and there’s nothing you do to , really please , whoa , whoa , no ,

C Dm C
but they look at you like you’re , such a freak , whoa , whoa , no ,
C
well , you’re only sixteen , with A , lot to say ,
C Dm C
but they won’t give you the , time of day , whoa , whoa , no ,
